This documentary by Dominic Hartley on the Jesuits of the British Province introduces the Jesuits and looks at their work in schools.

The Jesuits (Society of Jesus) is a Catholic male religious order that follows the teachings of the Catholic Church. The members are called Jesuits, and are also known colloquially as "God's Marines" and as "The Company," these being references to founder Ignatius of Loyola's military background and the members' willingness to go anywhere in the world and live in extreme conditions. The Society is engaged in evangelization and apostolic ministry in 112 nations on six continents.
